The Spaniard came down in a crash in the final kilometres of stage 17 on Wednesday. After remounting his bike, Rodríguez was able to finish the stage, but hospital tests later that evening revealed the extent of his injuries and confirmed that he would be unable to continue to race. He was 10th in the general classification.
